Found a 2017 e-tron with around 38k miles for $20k. Seems like a deal, but I'm new to EVs. What are the common pitfalls with this model? Any specific parts I should check during the inspection? Don’t wanna get stuck with a lemon!
That price does sound good but I’d be cautious. The 2017 e-tron is a great car but older EVs can come with issues like battery degradation or cooling system problems. Get a battery health report and have a trusted mechanic inspect it before buying. It might be a steal, or it could end up being a headache. Do your homework first!
That sounds like a good find, but check the battery health, software updates, and brakes, also ensure the charging port works well and confirm there's no unusual wear on the drivetrain.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely keep an eye on the battery health and software updates, don’t want any surprises creeping up. I’ll also be on the lookout for the other important stuff you guys mentioned. Gonna have a mechanic give it a once-over to make sure everything’s looking solid. Fingers crossed this deal turns out as good as it seems!
